Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 Released
Random BedHead Ed writes "The latest release of Mozilla Thunderbird, the standalone Mozilla mail program, has been released and is available for download here. A quick scan of the release notes shows some new improvements and features, including a new look, bug fixes, and for Linux users the ability to click on a URL in an e-mail and have it actually launch in your default web browser (how novel). Download and enjoy..."
I hadn't read much about Thunderbird yet...
... status bar tricks ... and spoofing that prevents you from seeing where links really go.

Sweet! I also read that it offers built-in one click downloading. The only thing I use, that isn't included in Firebird, is a spell checker for forms, etc. Currently, I'm using iespell(free) for Internet Explorer, but I haven't really looked for a Mozilla spell checker yet..

Truthfully, I read the moderator guidelines once a long time ago, and I can't repeat a single word. This site is recreational and I treat it with a corresponding degree of seriousness. If you ask me, anyone who ranks Slashdot moderation as some kind of civic or moral duty deserves to be pissed off every now and then.
Of course, I do think making snide comments in story summaries is kind of stupid, perhaps even uncouth. But what the hell. It's just Slashdot.
You may commence the offtopic mods.

You worry too much. Slashdot has 700,000 members (or at least, that's how many handles have been allocated). You think they all read all the rules before moderating? Why?
Your time would be better spent wondering why the same people - as well as a hell of a lot of non-slashdot readers - make such bad choices when it comes to voting in Elections, unless you think Bush, Blair et al are the wise choices of an informed electorate.
well perhaps i cannot be as laid-back about it as you. i can't stand hypocrisy. and, as you said, the editors *do* tend to take themselves quite seriously, thus i think i have the right to complain. simple :)

of course my post is very offtopic, and therefore who am i to use the pot-kettle-black remark...
ah well
thanks for making me laugh my brains out :)
/. editors.
it's always fun to find out there are people that take themselves more seriously than i do.
and btw: don't you tell me what to worry about. as far as i'm concerned, i have as little influence on the behaviour of a braindead electorate, than i have on the behaviour of

How is that a "bad" comment though? Sarcastic yes, and poking fun at the joke of a desktop OS that is Linux, but not necessarily bad.
The only people that would think of that as bad is Linux apologists who are trying to ignore the fact that even though most basic features of an operating system/windowing environment/general computing environment do not exist in Linux. (note that it shouldnt be up to the Mail client to implement this feature, it should be a single line API call to the OS)

That's because they haven't realized that /. is a game. Which is kinda ironic, as they were the ones who started it.

As for Linux users, their clipboard images are planned for next century.
That's because it'll take that long to fix the clipboard(s) in X.
